Bound manuscript volumes in which the daily minutes of the court's
proceedings were entered by the clerk. Most of the entries relate the
actions taken on individual suits pending before the court; these
entries are accompanied by marginal notes citing the names of
plaintiff & defendant, along with the docket number assigned to each
suit. Additional entries record such matters as the appointments of
court officers, the admission of attorneys to practice before the court,
and naturalization proceedings.

The first volume in the series is a continuation of the final minute
book for the old City Court. Volume 3 also includes a record of
marriage licenses issued by the City Court during 1807-1808.

There is also a single volume of minutes of cases appealed to the
Parish Court from the Justices of the Peace.
